Congenital cardiac surgery

About 33702: Sinus venosus defect and venous repair

Surgical repair of a sinus venosus atrial septal defect with anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, correcting both the septal defect and abnormal venous flow.

This code describes open cardiac surgery to correct a sinus venosus atrial septal defect associated with pulmonary veins draining abnormally. The surgeon repairs the defect and redirects the affected venous flow into the left atrium. Congenital cardiac surgeons typically perform the operation in a hospital operating room, commonly using cardiopulmonary bypass. The anatomy distinguishes this repair from surgery for an isolated atrial septal defect or anomalous pulmonary venous connection without the sinus venosus defect.

Select the code from the documented anatomy and the operation performed; the operative report should identify the defect, anomalous veins, and repair. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this repair. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

CMS billing rules for 33702

Global period
Major surgery with a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included.

33702 billing questions

When is this code a better fit than a code for partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair?

Use this code when the operation repairs a sinus venosus atrial septal defect together with the associated anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. A partial anomalous connection without that defect points to a different repair code.

How does this differ from repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection?

This code addresses the combination of a sinus venosus defect and anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a different venous anatomy and is reported with its specific repair code.

Can modifier 50 be reported?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this repair, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for the anatomy and service.

How is postoperative care handled?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the reduction. Document each distinct procedure in the operative report.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
